As I've uploaded a load of files at the same time, here is one file
(duplicated) with all the details.
First, here's a list of file names and sizes:
-rw-r--r-- 1 926286ki 13032 Oct 3 17:53 BackIcon
-rw-r--r-- 1 926286ki 74551 Oct 3 17:53 CLIGuard
-rw-r--r-- 1 926286ki 108024 Oct 3 17:53 Config+
-rw-r--r-- 1 926286ki 25499 Oct 3 17:53 HourExt
-rw-r--r-- 1 926286ki 20971 Oct 3 17:53 MoreIBar
-rw-r--r-- 1 926286ki 13507 Oct 3 17:53 MultiObey
-rw-r--r-- 1 926286ki 7142 Oct 3 17:53 ShortHelp
-rw-r----- 1 926286ki 135455 Nov 14 12:44 SmartQuotes120b
Here's a list of short descriptions (assume Short: prefixes them all)
BackIcon: adds functionality to the Back Icon gadget.
CLIGuard: desktop interface to modules and *Help, pseudo-hypertext links.
Configure+: extends !Configure to cope with new configure options.
HourExt: turns the hourglass on when a task stops multitasking.
MoreIBar: gives you a second scrollable icon bar for easy access to drives.
MultiObey: multi-tasks Obey files, for e.g. Boot sequences and backups.
ShortHelp: BASIC routines to compress *Help text in modules.
SmartQuotes120b: Intercepts key presses to provide correct quotes, dashes etc.
Here come the long descriptions:
BackIcon - allows you to move windows up and down the
window stack as well as just sending them to the back.
CLIGuard - gives you a list of modules, you can do the usual
things with them (unplug, reinit etc.), also get *Help and do various
commands. This may still be a bit flaky.
Configure+ - attaches itself to !Configure, gives you four more
icons in the main window, where you can set more options (including
third party options).
HourExt - turns the hourglass on when a task is not multitasking.
Useful for boot sequences, less useful when you're e.g. grabbing a
sprite from the screen ;).
MoreIBar - a response to the "Scrolling the icon bar faster"
discussion on comp.sys.acorn, this provides a secondary, vertical
icon bar. Mouse clicks work, menus are opened at a sensible height,
file drags from the Filer work (but not from applications),
interactive help works. May also be a bit flaky.
MultiObey - multitasks Obey files, shows you the current line and
the position in the file as you go along. Good for Boot sequences.
ShortHelp - a set of library routines for people programming
modules in BASIC, that allow you to crunch *Help messages using
OS_PrettyPrint (and thus making the module smaller).
SmartQuotes120b - intercepts key presses, providing typographically
correct quotes, dashes, ligatures as well as an easy way to type accents,
fractions and other strange characters. Also correct first-letter
capitalisation, e.g. "THe WRong THing".
They should all go in the utils directory. They're also on hensa and
stuttgart in case anything goes wrong.
